" Got chapped hands today.
Played between 12.30 and 1.30 in the sack shed.
Mother went to Nana's house and nana came back with her.
'The Babes in the Woods' is the title of the pantomine at the Hippodrome.
Walked home with Alderton.
Had some tart which Mum made. Cleaned my leggings this evening.
Nana took my watch which Appa* gave me to Traskes to be mended.
Weather: No wind. No rain. Very cold and chilly."
